Ford 1961 Thundertaker Hearse
Oddly enough, I have ended up with two build for #mocaround56 #hearserod named 'Thundertaker'. The car shown previously, the 1960 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, was so named by the creator of the IRL car. This one here, named by me.
Though, a Thunderbird named Thundertaker really is a no-brainer. A pity the name has already been scooped up by a Cadillac.
The car shown here takes a 1961 'Bullet' Thunderbird, and mounts it to the longer wheelbase (but closely related) 1961 Lincoln Continental. The Thunderbird sheetmetal is used for the rear of the car, but for the inclusion of a full-length roof, along with long side-windows creating a shooting brake.
The additional modifications of suicide doors and a wagon-type tailgate, and nice large-diameter wheels and tires add to a more resto-mod feel for the build, while keeping most of the 1961 bullet styling.
As mentioned, I missed the memo on the challenge order rearrange. Built for #mocaroundgang hearse-rod challenge hosted by @poppalars
